@RickGrant007 @New64GTO @Mr_Husky1 Not likely a young couple could afford a Polaroid camera in 1961, they cost $89 or more thats between $690-900 In todays dollars.

@New64GTO @Mr_Husky1 No…Edward Land invented the process and commercialized it in 1948.

"On a peaceful Sunday afternoon in June 1961, just months after leaving the presidency, Dwight D. Eisenhower was tending his vegetable garden at his Gettysburg farm when he noticed a young couple had gotten their car stuck in the mud on the rural road bordering his property, and without hesitation, this 70-year-old former Supreme Commander grabbed a rope from his barn, trudged through the muck in his overalls, and spent forty-five minutes helping them push their beat-up Chevy back onto solid ground. What makes this moment so beautifully human is that the couple—newlyweds Tom and Susan from Ohio driving cross-country on their honeymoon—had absolutely no idea they were being rescued by the man who'd led the Allied forces to victory and served two terms as President, and Eisenhower never mentioned it, just introduced himself as 'Ike, the farmer next door' and asked about their travels while hauling on the rope with mud splattered all over his work clothes. When they finally got the car free, Eisenhower's wife Mamie appeared with a thermos of lemonade and homemade cookies, inviting this bewildered young couple to sit on their porch and rest, and for an hour they chatted about marriage advice, good fishing spots in Pennsylvania, and the best route to California, with Ike telling stories about his own road trips with Mamie decades earlier. It wasn't until Tom and Susan stopped for gas twenty miles down the road and showed the attendant a photo they'd taken with 'the nice farmer who helped us' that someone gasped and said, 'That's President Eisenhower!'—and the couple nearly fainted realizing they'd just shared lemonade and marriage tips with one of history's greatest leaders who'd treated them like old friends rather than starstruck strangers. Tom later wrote Eisenhower a letter thanking him for the kindness, and Ike responded with a handwritten note: 'The pleasure was all ours—Mamie and I love meeting young people starting their adventures together. Remember: a good marriage is like farming, it takes patience, hard work, and the wisdom to know some days you're just going to get muddy. Stay happy. Your friend, Ike.' What absolutely destroys you is understanding that Eisenhower could've enjoyed celebrity retirement, could've had staff handle every inconvenience, but instead he chose to be simply *Ike*—a neighbor who helped strangers, a farmer who got his hands dirty, a man who measured his worth not by past glory but by present kindness, proving that true greatness is what you do when nobody's watching and nobody knows your name.

@5_star_man_ @libdunkmedia @Garyhelpyouwin @Mark_Penn Don't forget the Charlottesville hoax. Very fine people video edit.

@libdunkmedia @Garyhelpyouwin @Mark_Penn Meanwhile “the truth”…

Iran Coverage The headlines abound: Iran Regime doing well, in control Trump under pressure to end war Khomeini son just as tough as Father US responsible for missile on school One headline after another essentially featuring Iranian propaganda as the news. Where are the headlines: 50 Iranian ships sunk Iranian military assets destroyed Leadership tries to put on good showing despite internal chaos Khomeini appointment creates hereditary theocracy War plan progress unprecedented The press is a drumbeat of negativity favoring the Iran regime. It’s puzzling at this point how any success is buried. The reality is likely the regime is being pummeled on all sides and has no ability to provide for its people. Maybe it can put on a good show for another week or two but its leadership is under immense pressure. But that’s not what the American public is getting from mainstream media.

@jasonwhitlock No one mentions how poorly he treated sports writers, major factor

Belichick Boycott!!! Yes!

@traestephens There were no kamikaze pilots in 1938, they started that in 1944.

In 1938, Fujio Hayashi, a 22-year-old pilot in the Imperial Japanese Air Force, volunteered to be the first kamikaze pilot, but the bomb on his aircraft didn't go off and he ended up walking away from the crash, survived the war, and lived until he was 93. Founders, raising the most money you can at the highest price possible is a kamikaze strategy. But fair warning up front, you are probably not Hayashi.

@Discombobu94083 @RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld Good on ya! 😆

LGBTQ+ crowd is trying out construction now.. Would you hire them to work on your house?

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld Oops, meant to correct previous to 1/4"...I need another beer!.

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld 14"

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld The board stretcher lesson occurs out in the field after there is some "short cutting", like the infamous "one incher". One of the next lessons would be getting the "sky hooks" out of the truck when figuring how to do a lift. 😄

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld a modern fastener and a power tool. Have a nice day and Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

@timberledgewest @darryl_le_roux @clownworld It's such simple common sense, to make an accurate measurement, and marking. It doesn't warrant a lesson. Do you teach them to tie their safety boots too ??? I don't think your a trained carpenter. If you are how many hits with a hammer too drive in a 4" spike nail ??

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld Have you ever tried to learn something you knew nothing about? You can't assume common sense when you are teaching. You can think as you wish about my experience. Answer to the last question is no carpenter these days would be driving a 4" "spike" with a hammer, they would use..

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld I don't consider that a lesson my friend, just one of many basic, important things new carpenters should know. I've probably trained over a hundred carpenters. It should be a small part of a lesson session. As I said it took too long but I'm thinking those newbies learned it.

@timberledgewest @darryl_le_roux @clownworld I have construction experience, my feathered friend. This is a BS lesson. Common sense, not to have a lesson on.

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld You obviously have no construction experience.

@timberledgewest @darryl_le_roux @clownworld Seriously that is a waste of a lesson, if someone needs to be taught how to mark a piece of lumber I wouldn't want the. Was day one's lesson how to tie their workboot laces ???

@Magnum1ooo @clownworld The way I saw it she did put the x on the scrap side and explained why...?

@RexRichardsonN @darryl_le_roux @clownworld Not ridiculous at all, I've been in construction over 40 years and that is one of the first lessons. You need to make marks that co-workers understand universally, not just a mark or a scratch, very important.

@darryl_le_roux @clownworld They are being taught how to mark a piece of lumber. You do realize how ridiulous that is ?

@clownworld The mark is called a "crows foot" , good lesson just way too long.

@KimStrassel I like the twister in Kansas and is that Area 51 on NM ?

I think he began with the thought of super-decorating each state (CA, AK, etc) and then realized the daunting task. 😁

Xmas/patriotic joy (great combo). The family made cookies. While everyone cookie-cuttered stars and reindeer, my son freehanded the USA, then painstakingly moved each piece to a baking sheet and later decorated. The problem: who dares eats (destroys) said masterpiece?
